Title: Turbo Boost
Post by: not4sho on February 08, 2007, 06:50:21 pm

I have a 1990 Jetta TD engine in my 1992 Golf running 12 PSI. Just currious as to how to up the PSI and what is safe to run with factory fuel delivery, and stock engine. No P/S or A/C.

you can run as much boost as you want, the fueling is what will ultimately kill your engine.  with factory fuel delivery you'll have a hard time getting passed around 15psi, you need more fuel to make more boost.

The headgasket is another weak point to worry about

You dont "have" to get injectors...you could just get your rebuilt....
in order to increase fuel you can go to the thread on making your TD faster....its on the forum.

I cant find the thread you are talking about. how do you adjust the wastegate to get higher boost? if you know where the thread is could you post a link to it?

The thread is in the FAQ section and is second from the top as i write this, It explains how to adjust your turbo's wast gate, as well as how to increase fueling, and some other little tricks.
